Marshall, a name that pretty much screams legendary rock ‘n’ roll sound, is bringing its latest portable powerhouse to Malaysian shores: the Marshall Kilburn III. This isn’t just another Bluetooth speaker; it’s the third iteration of a beloved series, promising to deliver that iconic Marshall sound with some serious upgrades, especially when it comes to battery life and the overall audio experience

If you’ve ever gotten your hands on a Marshall speaker, you’ll know they’re not just about blasting tunes; they’re about delivering high-quality audio wrapped in a distinct, classic aesthetic. The Kilburn III proudly carries on this tradition, pulling design cues directly from Marshall’s classic amplifiers. We’re talking intricate details like those satisfyingly tactile control knobs and a carrying strap that looks just like a guitar strap, complete with buttons for easy removal. It’s a design that feels right at home, whether it’s chilling in your living room or packed up for an outdoor adventure
Re-engineered for Life on the Go
One of the biggest eye-catchers for the Kilburn III has to be its incredible battery life. Marshall is boasting a staggering 50+ hours of portable playtime, which is more than double what its predecessor offered. Seriously, your curated playlist will probably call it quits before the Kilburn III does. This kind of endurance makes it perfect for those long weekend getaways, extended outdoor sessions, or simply moving your music around your home without constantly hunting for a power outlet.
But it’s not just about how long it lasts. The Kilburn III also features 360° True Stereophonic sound. This is Marshall’s clever way of making sure you get a consistent, truly immersive audio experience no matter where you’re positioned around the speaker. It uses a unique stereo arrangement to wipe out any audio “blind spots,” delivering well-rounded mids, crisp highs, and bass that digs deep, all perfectly tuned with improved wideband drivers. Marshall explicitly engineered this speaker to be cranked up loud without any compromise on sound quality, ensuring a harmonious blend of bass, mids, and treble at any volume, thanks to its Dynamic Loudness feature.
Built for Inside and Out
Living in Malaysia means you’re always ready for a sudden downpour or a dusty day, and Marshall has designed the Kilburn III to shrug it off. With an IP54 dust and water-resistant rating, it’s ready to deal with a splash of water or a bit of dirt. Even an “overexcited house guest” with a drink won’t bother it too much, making it a solid choice for both indoor gatherings and outdoor escapades.
Connectivity is, as you’d expect, straightforward with the latest Bluetooth technology. And keeping that classic amplifier feel alive, the Kilburn III features those satisfyingly tactile controls that let you easily tweak bass and treble, power the speaker on or off, and manage your tracks (play, pause, skip). There’s even a handy ‘M-button’ for instant access to your saved presets. Plus, in a surprisingly useful trick, the Kilburn III can even double up as a power bank, letting you give your phone a much-needed power boost directly from the speaker.

Hanna Wallner, Product Manager Marshall Speakers of Marshall Group, pointed out that the Kilburn III signifies a “groundbreaking evolution” for their product line. She highlighted its completely reengineered acoustic design, enhanced visuals, refined usability, and that significantly extended playtime, calling it a “remarkable upgrade” from its predecessor. This new iteration truly looks to combine that classic rock spirit with the demands of modern portable audio.
